We travel. Some of us forever. To seek other states, other lives, other souls.

When every physical and mental resource is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.

My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?

I believe that every person is born with talent.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
